Posted by Donna:In the last two months, I've made 21 pillowcases. Fourteen of these have been for Christmas. I decided to make one for each of our grandchildren to use as stocking stuffers. I also made some for a few of our church members that are in one of our Assisted Living Centers.
They're quick to make and lots of fun to coordinate the material for each one. I used different patterns for each grandchild. I'm only showing four of them.
A few weeks ago, my aunt had me make pillowcases for her four grandchildren. She wanted the patterns to be about what each child really liked; so, they were patterns of sports, race cars, dogs, and butterflies with pink polka dots. Finding all of these different prints took some doing; but, after searching and searching all the bolts of material, I finally found some really cute prints.
Pillowcases are a very inexpensive gift for anyone. Several months back, I made an OU case for my uncle and a rooster case for a very good friend who collects roosters. They loved them.
I also made several for graduation gifts---which by the way, I'm doing again for all the graduation gifts this year.

Very cute! Great way to wrap gifts too - in a Christmas pillowcase!
Thank you, Robin.
I saw a cute idea using a white pillowcase as the gift wrap. The case was made into a snowman with button eyes and a small knitted hat on his head. It also had a felt scarf tied around his neck--which enclosed the gift inside. I just wish I had time to make all the creative ideas I hear and read about.
